Clinging to Her Until the End

Everyone said the Shen family's heiress was a pretty little darling who couldn't even hold on to her husband, Huo Xingzhou.

Only Shen Zhiyi knew that marrying into the Huo family had been part of a carefully plotted scheme from the start.

When her mother-in-law made things difficult, she bowed her head and played the obedient daughter-in-law. When her husband cheated, she remained unruffled.

Until one night, someone drugged her, and she stumbled into the arms of the one man no one in the Huo family dared to offend: her uncle by marriage, Huo Jin.

A cigarette between his fingers, his gaze cold as ice, he gave her a mocking smile. “Nephew's wife, have you been abandoned already?”

She clutched his clothes, her voice trembling as she looked at him helplessly. “Uncle, help me.”

He pinned her against the floor-to-ceiling window and kissed her fiercely.

“Hasn't pretending to be sweet and obedient for so long worn you out?”

“Why not play for real with me?”

Later, Shen Zhiyi died after falling into the sea. Her body was never found.

The Huo family's powerful uncle went mad overnight.

He gave away his entire fortune and searched every corner of the world, all to retrieve a body that didn't exist.

When they met again, Murong Yao appeared in a red dress on the arm of her fiancé, Shangguan Che, taking everyone's breath away.

Huo Jin blocked her in an empty corridor, his eyes bloodshot. “You stole what was mine, deceived me, and now you want to marry someone else?”

She smiled and pushed him away, her expression cold and distant.

“Mr. Huo, it was just a fling. Why take it seriously?”

Later, he stopped her wedding car and offered her his entire fortune.

“Would this be enough to buy one look back from you?”
